7 Tips for Staging Your Entryway to Make Your Home Irresistible to Buyers

7 Tips for Staging Your Entryway to Make Your Home Irresistible to Buyers

If you’re getting ready to sell your home in Boca Raton, you and your real estate agent will work closely to make sure your space looks its best – and that you can sell it for top dollar. Part of making a great impression on prospective buyers is staging your home’s entryway, which is the first place people see when they step inside your door. This guide explains how you can stage your entryway to give buyers a fabulous first impression.

7 Tips for Staging Your Entryway to Make Your Home Irresistible to Buyers

Check out these seven tips for staging your entryway to sell your home:

  1. Declutter everything
  2. Leave no shoes unturned (or out, for that matter)
  3. Clean from top to bottom
  4. Add a mirror to reflect light and add ambiance
  5. Consider your rug
  6. Think about upgrading your lighting
  7. Add a live plant or two

Here’s a closer look at each.

Entryway Staging Tip #1: Declutter Everything

Before you start staging your entryway, it’s in your best interest to remove everything that could distract buyers from falling in love with your home. Clutter is your worst enemy, and that means removing everything that makes your space feel “lived-in.” Put away mail, hang your jackets in the closet and clean up any clutter you’ve left on your entryway table.

Entryway Staging Tip #2: Leave No Shoes Unturned

Clutter isn’t just limited to the items inside your entranceway. The outside of your home should be decluttered, too. Make sure you store away any shoes, boots or slippers that have been left by the front door. If you have a coat closet in your entryway (or elsewhere), make sure it’s tidy; buyers can (and will) open all the doors, cabinets and drawers in your home as they’re looking around.

Entryway Staging Tip #3: Clean From Top to Bottom

After you’ve decluttered your entryway, it’s time for a good scrub. Make sure to dust the ceiling fan and light fixtures, as well as wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth. This is especially important if you have pets; pet dander can make prospective buyers wary of buying your home. And don’t forget to mop or vacuum the floor to make it sparkle.

Entryway Staging Tip #4: Add a Mirror To Reflect Light and Add Ambiance

Adding a mirror to your entryway is an easy and affordable way to make it look bigger, brighter and more inviting. Choose a large one with an interesting frame that will draw buyers’ eyes and reflect light. This will help open up the space and create a welcoming atmosphere for prospective buyers.

Entryway Staging Tip #5: Consider Your Rug

Your entryway rug should be eye-catching but not overpowering. Choose one in a bright or neutral color that fits with your home’s overall style without being too distracting. It should also be made of durable material – preferably a synthetic one that won’t stain easily and can handle any moisture or dirt that gets tracked in.

Entryway Staging Tip #6: Think About Upgrading Your Lighting

Lighting is an important element in staging your entryway, as it sets the tone for prospective buyers when they come to view your home. Make sure you have plenty of light – both natural and artificial – and that it’s placed in the right places. For example, if you have a small entryway, consider adding some wall sconces or install dimmers so buyers can adjust the level of lighting to their preference.

Entryway Staging Tip #7: Add a Live Plant or Two

Adding some greenery to your entryway is an easy way to give it life and make buyers feel at home. Choose plants that are low-maintenance and will stay alive even after the home has been sold. Some great options include succulents, peace lilies and ferns – all of which can provide a refreshing pop of color and life to your entryway.

Staging your entryway is one of the best ways to make your home irresistible to buyers. With these seven tips, you’ll be able to put together an inviting space that will give buyers a fabulous first impression.
